"Cancellation points are points inside of certain functions where
a thread has to act on any pending cancellation request when
cancelability is enabled, if the function would block. As with
checking for signals, operations need only check for pending
cancellation requests when the operation is about to block
indefinitely."

"Cancellation points are points inside of certain functions where
a thread has to act on any pending cancellation request when
cancelability is enabled. For functions in the "shall occur" list,
a cancellation check must be done on every call regardless of
whether, absent the cancellation, the call would have blocked.
For functions in the "may occur" list, a cancellation check may
be done on some calls but not others; i.e. whether or not a
cancellation point occurs when one of these functions is being
executed can depend on current conditions."
